Effect of Yoga: Competitiveness vs. Humility?

As we progress with our practice of yogasanas, with expertise, a sense of "competitiveness" can tend to set in...then doesn’t the true purpose of yoga, i.e., to help us reduce the 'I sense' (Asmita) gets lost, which really is the root of all our problems? Do all the forward bending asanas, when done regularly; increase the sense of humility in us?
